special day and use it as a reminder of just how important time with friends and family really is!
We are headed out tonight on a desert adventure that I cannot wait to experience!
We'll be back next week with new memories to share!
Mulled wine is also known as Glögg which is Scandinavian. It is traditionally made with raisins and mulling spices and heated over a fire. It is also very popular in Germany and Austria where they refer to it as Glühwein.
This year I finally got around to making some of my own! I searched around the web for recipes and tips and came up with a recipe that is a conglomeration of several. I have now made it on three different occasions since Thanksgiving and I think I have finally mastered it! Beware that this is an adult drink and the alcohol definitely does not cook out of it! Here is the recipe I will be making every year from now on! Enjoy
Directions
Ingredients
- 1.5L Bottle Red Wine(I recommened Cabernet Sauvignon; use the cheapest possible, no need to waste the good stuff here!)
- 3/4 cup spiced rum or brandy(here again I stress the cheap factor)
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 3/4 cup white Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
- 5-6 whole Cinnamon Sticks
- 1-2 peeled and pulled apart Oranges or Tangerines
- 8 whole Cloves
- 5 Cardamom Pods
- Oranges for Garnish
Directions
- Place all ingredients(except garnish oranges) in crock-pot. Stir.
- Heat on Low for 4 hours or High 2 hours then switch to warm.
- Strain out pods and serve with a cinnamon stick and orange for garnish!
